March Magic 2017 Begins with BIG Sale, Get T-Shirts for Horizons, Cranium Command, Mr. Toad, Haunted Mansion, Tower of Terror and More!

WDWNT on March 17, 2017

Disney Parks March Magic 2017 has begun!

width=

As part of the celebration, now an annual tradition, DisneyStore.com has released tons of attraction team t-shirts for you to buy, but in addition to all of the great designs we already showed you, there are even more than ever before!

width=

Even though there is not a Disneyland attraction tournament this year, many Disneyland attractions have shirt and poster designs that you can buy right now.

width=

Also in the mix are two classic EPCOT Center attraction teams, with the Horizons Butlers…

width=

And the Cranium Commanders!

width=

Another thing I love this year is the embellishments on the numbering found on the backlights of the shirt (which is decided by the year that the attraction opened, but the way). As an example, the Carousel of Progress shirt has the logo behind the numbers, while Star Tours has the Starspeeder 3000 zooming by.

width=

width=

Also available this year is this awesome tumbler featuring all of the teams!

width=

The best part of all? They are offering a deep discount if you buy a lot of these designs as t-shirts (I ended up buying over ten myself). So what are you waiting for? START SHOPPING BEFORE THESE ARE GONE!

Which ones will you be buying?

Expansion on Tokyo Disney Resort’s ‘Disney’s Easter’

WDWNT on March 17, 2017

width=

Pretty soon, the Disney’s Easter event will be hopping to the Tokyo Disney Resort. A first for the event, guests will be able to encounter the mischevious bunny-eared Usatama egg characters, who bring with them a whole lot of mayhem and springtime fun. Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde will have their own parade floats in the all new Usatama on the Run! parade debuting as part of this springtime adventure and features Mickey and his pals chasing after the Usatama. A special Usatama dance will entertain guests and allow them to ‘hop in the fun’ during the parade, which is very similar to the ‘Move it Shake it Parade’ at the Magic Kingdom in Florida. Another new thing for the event is the brand new scavenger hunt where guests can use clues and follow the map to find the hidden Usatama. As a special reward for completion, you receive a unique sticker.

width=

Head over to Tokyo DisneySea for the special Fashionable Easter show, performed by our Disney friends at the Mediterranean Harbor as they dance to music from four different ports. You’ll also find plenty of Easter decorations and exclusive merchandise all over the resort, including the must-have item of the season: an adorable bunny-eared Easter “Bunny” Bonnet. All the fun begins on April 4, 2017!

VIDEO: Watch The First Teaser Trailer For Disney*Pixar’s “Coco”

WDWNT on March 17, 2017

width=

Disney*Pixar has released the first teaser trailer for their next animated feature, “Coco”.

Coco follows the secret musical ambitions of 12-year-old Miguel (Anthony Gonzalez), who resides in a lively, loud Mexican village but comes from a family of shoemakers that may be the town’s only music-hating household. For generations, the Riveras have banned music because they believe they’ve been cursed by it; as their family history goes, Miguel’s great-grandfather abandoned his wife decades earlier to follow his own dreams of performing, leaving Imelda (Renée Victor), Miguel’s great-grandmother, to take control as the matriarch of the now-thriving Rivera line and declare music dead to the family forever.

But Miguel harbors a secret desire to seize his musical moment, inspired by his favorite singer of all time, the late Ernesto de la Cruz (Benjamin Bratt). It’s only after Miguel discovers an amazing link between himself and De la Cruz that he takes action to emulate the famous singer and, in doing so, accidentally enters the Land of the Dead.

In the beautiful underworld, it’s not long until Miguel encounters the souls of his own family — generations’ worth of long-dead but no less vivacious Rivera ancestors, including great-grandmother Imelda. Still, given the opportunity to roam around the Land of the Dead, Miguel decides to track down De la Cruz himself. He teams up with another friendly (and skeletal) spirit — a trickster named Hector, voiced by Gael Garcia Bernal — to find De la Cruz, earn his family’s blessing to perform, and return to the Land of the Living before time runs out.

“Coco” opens in US theatres in 3D on November 22!
